b) in music, the subgenre of grindcore, or grind, most influenced by metal and especially death metal, having barely or no influence by hardcore at all. Consisted of low growls, gurgles, and screams, heavily distorted guitars, death metal drumming with a lot of powersnared rhythms. Sometimes also called grindgore or gore grind. Easily distinguished from other grind bands that are not gore such as suicide silence, a black rose burial, Braindrill, and Shotgun facelift.

"Yes, yes of course, I'm ready to prove myself! I'll fight! I'll do anything!"
"No no.. I mean literally..go to the mattresses. Pick one, lie down, put your feet up, watch a movie, eat some cheese."
